You Bring Me Joy [DVD] Lyrics

You bring me joy
When I'm down
Oh, so much joy
When I lose my way, your love comes smiling on me
I saw your face
And then I knew
We would be friends
I was so afraid but your arms, they'd say, "Come to me"
So I'd say to you
"Can we talk for a while?"
You'd say it's alright
When you love me, I smile
I feel you hands and you feel mine

You bring me joy
You bring me joy
Don't go too far away
If I can't see your face, I will remember your smile (your smile)

But can this be right?
Oh, and should we be friends?
I get lonely sometimes and I'm mixed up again
'Cause you're the finest thing I've seen in all my life
You bring me joy

(My joy) my joy

I believe this is gonna be what you want it to be
I just love you, I just, I love you, can't you see?
That you're the finest I've seen in all my life
You bring me joy

(My joy) you are, you're my joy
(My joy) my (you bring me joy) my joy

Oh, thank you, baby, thank you, baby
(You bring me joy)
I just love you, baby, I just love you, baby
Oh, I just love you
When I lose my way, your love comes smiling on me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
